Perhaps most of upper management are really only seatwarmers. They seem to be experienced in this kind of hiring.

Are they the worst "commenters" a blog can get?

I would never, ever, ever give up my address book to a social network. People should be free to do with it what they want within reason, but they should also realize - they do not own their friends' email addresses. If you're stupid enough to donate your friends' email addresses to a spammer, and your friends figure out you did it, well, then I think you'll probably deserve the email cold shoulder you may get afterwards.

I dunno, I must be nowhere near the utility point on the web-based social network applications. I have a Facebook account, and I goof around with it a bit, but it is entirely a novelty, mostly used to annoy my wife. Clearly, my generation hasn't adopted or even shown much interest in Facebook, as you can tell if you ever look at the age breakdowns on polls that run through there from time to time.

So, what about baby boomers? I see this BOOMj web site, which claims it is for Baby Boomers and Generation Jones. I bookmarked it for a while but didn't open a free account, if I don't even know what Generation Jones means, how will I fit in here? Plus the whole site just screams "WE WANT TO MARKET STUFF TO YOU!" and I don't think I need a social network for that. I have plenty of other venues I peruse which gives me that.

I guess I just don't get it.

There was a bit of a discussion the other day in our house about the following silly question...

If you could only have one or the other, and with no additional promises of other technology available, which would you choose to own:

Television or cell phone?
